Garry Winogrand
PhotographerKnown for: street photography of American public life
Garry Winogrand photographed American public life with relentless output, leaving behind more than 300,000 unedited frames at the time of his death — including 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film. He was a central figure in the street photography tradition that flourished in New York in the 1960s and 1970s. His relationship with the snapshot aesthetic and the physical energy of American crowds distinguished him from the more composed formalism of his contemporaries.

Leica
Introduced in 1954, the M3 was Leitz's first camera to use the M bayonet mount. Its combined viewfinder and rangefinder, with 0.91x magnification, set a standard for 35mm rangefinder design that every subsequent Leica M followed.
“Winogrand worked with Leica rangefinders throughout his street photography career; the M3 is documented in numerous retrospective accounts.”
